Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a foot movement damping device for damping foot movement via the ankle joint and a correspondingly designed shoe for damping foot movement via the ankle joint, as defined in the claims.
  • Devices are also known in which a movement of the ankle joint is permitted up to a certain limit angle of movement and, due to the construction, a movement is completely blocked from this limit angle.
  • a device is, for example, from the EP 2717809 B1 famous.
  • Such devices offer no protective effect before the critical angle is reached. It is known, however, that the risk of injury when twisting, especially in the case of already weakened ligaments or after an injury, also depends significantly on the inversion speed and inversion acceleration occurring when twisting and not solely on the inversion angle. In the area below the limit (inversion) angle, such devices offer no protection. In addition, once the limit angle has been reached, the movement is completely blocked.
  • the ankle orthosis shown therein requires a pressure-resistant bar located on the medial side of the ankle joint, which is located between the upper area of the orthosis and the lower area of the orthosis and must be firmly connected to both areas.
  • the bar must be designed in such a way that it returns the tensile forces introduced into the upper area via the pull-out device on the lateral side as compressive forces on the medial side to the lower area without deforming or buckling. As a result, a secure position in the distal direction can be achieved.
  • DE102012011433A1 shows a device with dilatant material for adaptive motion limitation.
  • EP0824014A1 shows a bandage for fixing the ankle.
  • DE102015107405A1 shows a device for limiting a movement of a joint arranged between a first body part and a second body part.
  • a foot movement damping device for damping a foot movement via the ankle joint, comprising a support arrangement for supporting on a lower leg and a holding arrangement for holding on a foot.
  • a damping arrangement is arranged with at least one damping element for damping a relative movement between the support arrangement and the holding arrangement, the damping arrangement having a support connection for connecting to the support arrangement and a holding connection for connecting to the holding arrangement.
  • the support arrangement also comprises at least one support area and at least one support fixation, wherein the support arrangement can be supported with the at least one support area above the ankle of the ankle on the ankle, and wherein the at least one support fixation for fixing the position of the at least one support area in a Lower leg attached state is formed.
  • ankle joint as used herein includes the upper and lower ankle joints and, accordingly, the axis of motion of the ankle joint, which essentially enables plantar flexion and dorsiflexion of the foot, and the axis of motion of the ankle joint, which essentially enables inversion and eversion, including supination, adduction and plantar flexion as well as abduction and dorsiflexion.
  • ankle is understood here to mean the shape of the joint socket, the malleolus fork of the upper ankle joint.
  • the term “ankle” herein includes the lateral malleolus, which is formed by the lateral malleolus expression, and the medial malleolus, which is formed by the medial malleolus expression. Due to the formation of the malleolar fork as a joint socket, the ankle has a larger cross-sectional area in relation to the proximal-distal direction in comparison to the section of the lower leg that is located above, and consequently proximally. Consequently, the circumference of the ankle is larger in comparison to the section adjoining proximally.
  • a damping arrangement is provided with at least one damping element for damping a relative movement between the support arrangement and the holding arrangement, the damping arrangement having a support connection for connecting to the support arrangement and a holding connection for connecting to the holding arrangement, a movement can also be provided over a limiting angle of movement of the ankle. In addition, the movement can be dampened in any position of the foot.
  • the support arrangement comprises at least one support area and at least one support fixation, wherein the support arrangement can be supported with the at least one support area above the ankle of the ankle on the ankle, and wherein the at least one support fixation for fixing the position of the at least one support area in one is formed attached to the lower leg state, it is ensured that when a tensile force acts on the support arrangement via the damping arrangement in the direction of the holding arrangement, the force can be transmitted from the support arrangement via the at least one support area to the ankle.
  • the support arrangement when the foot movement damping device is in the applied or tightened state, the support arrangement is supported on the user from above, ie proximally, in the direction of the foot, ie distally, on the ankle in an essentially form-fitting manner.
  • the form fit is made possible by enclosing the tapered area of the lower leg proximal to the ankle. Furthermore, it is thus possible to make the support arrangement flexible. A rigid arrangement with a hard shell that covers the ankle or ankle is therefore not necessary.
  • the support fixation is designed in such a way that it prevents the at least one support area from changing its position with respect to the lower leg when it is put on or put on.
  • the support fixation is preferably designed as a tension-resistant band, preferably as a Velcro band, with a deflection eyelet and a Velcro fastener, so that it can be pulled taut over the deflection eyelet on the lower leg and fixed by means of the Velcro fastener.
  • this prevents the support arrangement from expanding radially, so that the at least one support area cannot slide down over the ankle, that is to say distally.
  • the support fixation can also be provided as a lacing on the support arrangement.
  • the combination of the above-mentioned provision of the damping arrangement between the support arrangement and holding arrangement and the above-mentioned design of the support arrangement means that a high degree of mobility of the ankle during physiological movements that do not cause injuries and at the same time a good protective effect during non-physiological movements can be achieved in any position of the foot without unduly and stressing the knee joint when cushioning the twisting motion by the foot motion cushioning device.
  • the at least one damping element part of the The energy generated when the ankle twists can be absorbed, which would otherwise have to be intercepted by the knee joint when the lever arm is increased.
  • the at least one damping element is preferably set in such a way that a sufficiently large damping effect is provided to prevent injuries to the ankle joint, and sufficient energy can also be absorbed to prevent injuries to the knee joint as well.
  • the energy generated when twisting is partially absorbed by the at least one damping element and introduced into the lower leg via the support arrangement from above the ankle via the upper area of the outer formation of the malleolus fork, and partially compensated by the knee joint.
  • the support arrangement has flexible, pliable materials.
  • the at least one support area is formed by foam that is in contact with the lower leg in the tightened state, in combination with a rigid band that is arranged radially on the outside of the foam and runs in the circumferential direction of the lower leg.
  • the latter preferably forms the supporting fixation at the same time.
  • the support arrangement preferably has locally arranged, dimensionally stable or pressure-stable elements, via which the force introduced into the support arrangement can be transmitted evenly to the ankle.
  • the support arrangement has at least one first support area for support on a first side, preferably a lateral side of the ankle, and at least one second support area for support on a second side, preferably a medial side of the ankle.
  • the support arrangement can be supported evenly on the ankle. Since the forces coming from the holding arrangement via the damping arrangement are distributed over the plurality of support areas and transmitted to the ankle and a large, unilaterally or locally introduced force is avoided, the support arrangement can be held particularly securely in its position.
  • the first support area is designed in such a way that it is supported from above on the outer malleolus when it is in the put-on or pulled-on state and the second support area is designed in such a way that it is in the put-on or put on the inner ankle from above, a particularly even support can be achieved.
  • the support connection is at least partially on a first side of the support arrangement, which preferably corresponds to a lateral side of the ankle when attached to the lower leg, and at least partially on a second side of the support arrangement, which preferably corresponds to a lower leg attached condition corresponds to a medial side of the ankle, connected to the support assembly.
  • the support connection can be designed to be particularly material-saving. Furthermore, according to the arrangement of the support arms, a force induced by twisting can be redirected in a targeted manner or introduced into the support arrangement acting in a preferred direction. In addition, the anatomy of the foot or lower leg can be taken into account and chafing on exposed areas can be avoided.
  • first support arm and the second support arm are designed in one piece.
  • a damping element is integrated into the first support arm and/or a damping element is integrated into the second support arm.

If the support arms are arranged at an angle to the inversion direction or eversion direction of the ankle joint, an extension path of the respective damping element is lengthened according to the angle enclosed between the respective support arm and the inversion direction or eversion direction. Due to the presence of correspondingly larger extension distances of the damping element, the damping behavior of the damping element be adjusted more precisely.
  • a damping element integrated into a support arm only has to absorb or dampen the forces or force components that are transmitted by the respective support arm. The damping element can be constructed correspondingly smaller and simpler.
  • a damping element is integrated into the holding connection.
  • an effective direction of the damping element can be precisely adapted to an expected inversion direction or specified according to this.
  • a particularly effective damping or restraint of the movement via the ankle joint can be achieved if the holding attachment forms an angle of 0° to 90°, preferably 30° to 70°, particularly preferably 50°, with a plane defined by a sole or insole of the holding arrangement ° to 60° and most preferably 57°.
